The assignment yesterday was to stay cool,  not really but it ended up that way. Shooting the local wakeboard cable park which was cool in a way but with 105 degree temperatures did't feel so cool till I got in the water for some low level shots. It was like hanging by the pool with some of your best crazy friends. The ones that will jump off the high board, blindfolded and hands tied behind their backs kind of friends. The stuff those guys do can turn heads, knees, shoulders and just about any body part that is not supposed to turn.

I have watched race cars and drivers go round and round on tracks for years, but yesterday I saw cars and drivers that can actually fly. Don't get me wrong, they still go round and round. But these guys  turn both ways and they start and stop, and they have a jump that they fly over as well. Watching Ken Block, Rhys Millen and Metal Mullisha star Brian Deegan romp around and slide four wheel drive econo-boxes brings back memories of stomping on the gas as a teenager and spinning tires in my very first car.

Brazil vs Mexico





  I got to see some real futbol at Dallas Cowboys Stadium today as the Brazilian National Team played the Mexican National Team in a friendly match of soccer. Some really excited fans, lots of noise and lots of action as well. Only two goals but both of them were scored by the Mexican team. The Brazilian hotshot striker Neymar was almost striped by the Mexican defense so they really never had a chance at scoring a goal.
